Description

  • The present invention relates to a cladding part for cladding an internal region of a motor vehicle as well as a motor vehicle comprising said cladding part.
  • Motor vehicles generally comprise a dashboard in the interior which from the driver's perspective is in front of a windshield. In this case, generally a glove compartment is arranged on the passenger side for stowing smaller objects. It is also usual that units, such as for example a fuse box, are arranged from the driver's perspective behind the dashboard.
  • Conventional dashboards have only sound-absorbing cladding parts with a very flexible structure on the lower face thereof. If forces act on the conventional cladding parts, said parts do not resist said forces for very long and, for example, do not provide the glove compartment or fuse box with any protection from damage.
  • The prior art discloses several cladding parts for eliminating these drawbacks. GB 2310638 A provides a shaped interior trim panel according to the preamble of claim 1 made of plastics for a motor vehicle, which, in the installed state, is aligned at least essentially horizontally in the interior, a free space permitting the trim panel to deviate from its normal position adjoining the trim panel on one side, wherein the shape of the trim panel is provided with a convex structure configured such that, in the event of being impacted with a horizontal compressive load running essentially in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, the trim panel undergoes a controlled elastic and/or plastic deformation in the direction of the adjoining free space.
  • DE 3636485 A1 shows a ski-holder for motor vehicles, and for cars in particular, which has at least one ski mount, a ski-holding part and if necessary one or more supports, is to be wholly or partly adapted, especially in the region of the ski mount(s) and/or the holding part(s) and any supports which may be present, both as regards size and shape, to the outlines of the loading space which is present in the interior of the motor vehicle or the car in particular, so that it can be arranged in the interior of the vehicle together with the skis to be held and can be fastened, preferably in an easily releasable fashion, onto or into a parcel tray which is already available, for example.
  • The object of the present invention is to provide an improved cladding part as well as a motor vehicle with said cladding part.
  • This object is achieved by a cladding part as claimed in claim 1 as well as a motor vehicle as claimed in claim 6. Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the sub-claims, and described in the description.
  • The cladding part according to the invention for cladding a lower region of a dashboard of a motor vehicle comprises a damping layer. It is provided that the cladding part has a reinforcing layer at least in partial regions of the damping layer.
  • Thus the region behind the dashboard is advantageously protected. The units arranged there are not at risk of being damaged when objects exert a force against the cladding part.
  • According to the invention, the cladding part has at least one shaped portion in the form of a negative shape of a profile.
  • Thus, positioning the profiles as transported goods is particularly simplified. The profiles are additionally protected against slipping in the transverse direction relative to their longitudinal axis by a positive connection.
  • Furthermore, the cladding part according to the invention, it is provided that said cladding part additionally comprises a tube arranged in the shaped portion.
  • The tube in this case serves as a storage container for long, thin items such as rods or pipes. Said items are well protected in the tube when transported.
  • In an advantageous embodiment of the cladding part according to the invention, the reinforcing layer is made from hard plastic.
  • This provides the possibility of producing the cladding part relatively easily and cost-effectively. By means of the reinforcing layer made of hard plastic, the reinforcing layer has a high level of stability relative to the weight.
  • In a further advantageous embodiment of the cladding part according to the invention, the hard plastic is polypropylene, in particular the hard plastic is a polypropylene copolymer, which is mineral-filled with a content of approximately 15%.
  • This material provides a high level of robustness, a long service life and a high scratch resistance, with relatively low costs in terms of purchase and production.
  • In an advantageous embodiment, reinforcing ribs are arranged on the reinforcing layer of the cladding part according to the invention.
  • Said ribs provide the reinforcing layer and thus also the cladding part with additional rigidity, with relatively little extra weight.
  • Additionally, in a further advantageous embodiment the cladding part according to the invention comprises fixing means in order to fix the transported goods to the cladding part.
  • Thus, additionally, further improved protection against the slipping of the profiles is provided. The profiles may thus be additionally secured by a non-positive and/or positive connection against slipping in the longitudinal direction. Also rattling noise is prevented thereby.
  • The cladding part according to the invention is in all embodiments preferably integrated in a motor vehicle, wherein a lower region of a dashboard of the motor vehicle is clad by the cladding part.
  • Thus a motor vehicle is provided in which the space below the dashboard on the passenger side may be additionally used as storage space. In particular, it is possible to transport long profiles or rods or the like which may reach along the entire length of the motor vehicle as far as the splashboard. Even with smaller vans and/or high-roof combi vans, therefore, relatively long goods may be stowed with a relatively short vehicle length.

  • According to the invention, the reinforcing layer 12 is arranged at least in partial regions of the damping layer 11. The cladding part 10 may also have more than two layers 11, 12. The number of layers 11, 12 may vary in different partial regions.
  • The damping layer 11 consists of sound proofing material, also called NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) material.
  • The reinforcing layer 12 is made from a hard plastic, in particular a polypropylene copolymer with a 15 per cent mineral filling. The reinforcing layer 10 thus has a high level of stability and scratch resistance. In addition, other materials are conceivable as the material for the reinforcing layer 12. The reinforcing layer 12 may comprise reinforcing ribs 18 for reinforcing the structure thereof.
  • The cladding part 10 comprises at least one shaped portion 13. The shaped portion 13 serves for receiving a profile and/or a plurality of profiles.
